Sleeper 2021 BB?

I'm surprised the BB with the silver dial hasn't been talked about more since it's announcement. My experience with the 36 black dial has been incredible and this new dial looks amazing!

Is this the sleeper watch from tudor this year? (Actually the BB36 was kind of a sleeper when released)

Bought mine yesterday. Just waiting for it to come in at the AD. Never considered Tudor before. Instantly pulled the trigger on this one after we saw and it tried it on at the AD.

If I was going to buy a Tudor it would be this one. Ive seen it in black and blue and didnt love the matte dials, looked flat and bland compared to a 36mm Rolex. This silver however takes it to the next level

This is particularly true for women who are looking for a watch without blingbling in a decent diameter. My sister is typically traveling a lot in adventurous places so she doesn't want a classic woman's watch (too much diamonds, too much of a jewelry and not a plain and simple watch) so this is a strong option for her in 36mm diameter (and I wouldn't say no to the 41mm case for myself)

This particular dial color makes sense to round out the BB smooth bezel line; glad it found some fans (I prefer the blue, but all are handsome watches). Actually, wouldn't mind if they came out with a white dial version...

39mm with the same case as the BB58 would do well for that Tudor 'explorer'.

Owning both I can say that the 36 has something special going on, obviously, that’s if you enjoy the size. The 41 seems a little odd for me, maybe it’s because I’m used to the 36.

I was thinking this very same thing yesterday after seeing some pics online ..
It caught my eye on release but with everything else I got distracted. The only thing that puts me off this range is the size.. I'd like a 39mm. But I love this dial looks great.

I'm going to AD on Sunday as my girlfriend is picking up an S&G BB, hopefully they may have some in stock to look at ..

I'd be nice to have the longer power reserve of their in-house movement. Let's see what new model they'll announce come October.

I saw this watch last week at my AD. It looked great and hits a segment of the market. I do not like the movement but not so bad for the cost.

In pictures, this watch does nothing for me.

However, In the metal, it is really striking - much more than I imagined. I won't be picking this up, but it really was a nice surprise.

If they could shrink the crown tube a little it would be the perfect watch. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

I tried it on yesterday. Nice dial and looks better on the wrist than in pictures. Only downside I can see is it's a bit heavy side.

I like the watch, but the more I look at it, the more it looks like a Rolex OP with a vintage dive watch face.

Good looking watch. But I've always been a sucker for silver dials.

White dial would be killer!

The silver dial just doesn't look that exciting in pictures, but I'm sure it's quite dazzling in person.
